Memory Impairment is defined as:

• A. Difficulty with motor coordination
• B. Inability to recall information accurately
• C. Excessive distractibility
• D. Persistent sleep disturbance

Answer: (B)

Memory impairment means trouble with recalling or retrieving information that has been learned. It shows up as difficulty remembering recent events, names, dates, or new information, leading to inaccuracies in what is recalled. The option describing an inability to recall information accurately directly captures this problem with retrieval of stored information, so it’s the best fit. The other choices point to different functions: motor coordination relates to movement control, excessive distractibility to attention, and persistent sleep disturbance to sleep quality. While poor sleep can affect memory, sleep issues themselves are not memory impairment.
